Great result fellas.

Another option is removing those spray chines and painting/vinyl wrapping the hull then replacing them again.
I doubt if you completely removed them though you,d see much effect if any with such low hp fitted.
Personally,id do what i mentioned above.

Hey Raiders,
Thought I'd share how I tie Paternoster Rigs using my DIY peg board. I'd never claim to having invented the peg board but geez since I've made mine it's made a huge difference. I pump out 5 paternosters in the time it took me to make one - and they are all the same !!!!
Anyway sharing in the hope it helps some other Raider.
Cheers Zoran
Awesome work mate.

Like others said mate,cd wallet works a treat.If your worried about hooks penetrating the plastic I've used ear plugs with good results on the hook points.

If your not catching much mate, what chance do I have?I didn't even get the usual small fry,a bite,anything.2 or 3 guys in boats I passed and asked reported the same.

In my experience Dealers cant always be trusted to fix issues as there service departments generally look at warranty jobs as a loss and they want them done as quickly and cheaply as possible labor wise, parts they do not care about as they can claim that from manufacturer but labor is a different story.
As for the fishing oh well there is always next time mate!!! sure beats working!

Mate,sitting there in the boat taking in the scenery is 1000 times better than work.Especially in the upper reaches of the swa and up towards Audley weir if you didn't know better you'd think you were 1000 miles from civilization.

Cheers Zoran
Sure does,and after all that motoring I did my fuel tank is almost still full.It drank like an Islander at a free xmas party before.

That's not good. Should have been outside on Monday like me, very angry sea, and worse when the wind picked up.
I don't like fishing that much mate.You can keep those conditions to yourelf.

I'd like to see a taste test done where one fish is killed one way and another the other way of the same species.I bet not many people would taste the difference.But in reality you have a 50/50 chance of picking the ike-jimne method i guess and believing that tastes better just because you picked it.
My brother in-law is a better fisherman than me and ike-jimne his flathead etc and to me they taste the same as mine that i put to sleep in icy water then fillet and cook.
Maybe i have shit taste buds don't know.

Days like this come to all at least you where having ago
Cheers,it certainly was better than being at work and mulling over being sick at home.Wish i could have stayed out there longer to have a good crack as i wouldn't off even soaked a bait an hour.

Glad to hear the motor is purring along nicely.
Thanks mate.In this short video you can tell how nice it runs.It used to hesitate and miss at the same slow speed previously. I can basically troll in gear for as long as i want now and the throttle responce is instant.
It runs even better than when i bought it new and the dealer tried fixing it.

Did you get out on Monday Fab?
Went out late this morning for an hr or so only mate.
-
Great stuff.You did better than me.

I just got back from a solo trip to the hacking spending an hr or so fishing there for zero sick with the flu.A couple of boats there catching nothing too so it isn't just me.Plenty of bait schools showing and i tried using pilly tails,squid, and salted fillets for not even a bite.
The weather wasn't the best and it was quite windy but i wanted to test my motor after working on it and i must say im a happy chap as she's silky smooth for a 2cy poverty pack.Cut the trip short and headed back home as it started raining and i didn't want to get sicker than i already was.

Not trying to be rude but how would u like someone smashin a jig head or sinker into the side of your boat..maybe u should try throwin close to boats and not damaging other peoples property ...rick
I think he was trying to cast close and accidently gave it too much muscle Rick.For that reason you mention i just lob a bait a good 10m short from boats even crappy ones as even they are someones pride and joy i guess.
Good report champ and as Rick mentioned try to leave yourself short from hitting peoples hulls.
Look forward to seeing more reports from you.

During the 80s, being born in 1978, my old man taught me to fish. Dont remember the exact date, but I do remember I received my first daiwa combo, my own rod and reel and my first tackle box, for christmas in 1988. That entire Christmas day was spent with Dad teaching me how to tie knots and make up rigs ready for boxing day. Thanks Mum and Dad
In 1988 i was celebrating with my older brothers in the city for sydneys bicentenary.30yrs already.How time flies.

The best possible way not to harm the fish at all i know and not having to dispatch the fish,is to come fishing with me and you won't have to worry about it.You won't need a net,a gaff,anything.Mine are only for show.
But yeah,i just chuck my fish that i catch everytime I've aged a couple of years into a chilled esky and they go to sleep.

Lol.That sort of language is heard at church here in Campbelltown and is nothing compared to what you hear in public. 😂That guy seriously needs to hit the gym and work on his strength and cardio watching him struggling and huffing and puffing like a steam train over fighting a fish.
Nice fish non the less.

During bad weather doing this sounds like a plan.I think our cat has it all worked out just chilling.

Hi all
I have just completed 12 months on the new boat. I had a mystery illness that grounded me pretty much all of May and June. But i till managed to put 123 hrs on the motor.
So that got me thinking? How many hours does everyone else average in a year and for what type of boating? I use my boat almost exclusively for fishing.
Ps...its not a comp!! Just curious 😂😂
Sam
No where near as much as I'd like.I don't have an hr meter but at a guess maybe 20hrs a year and even then I think I'm overestimating.Apparently from what I've researched very few boaters do more than 100 yr and you'd be up there with the elite.
It's an interesting topic though as there's too many variables in how far you go out, whether you troll,tow a ski/biscuit,how often you move from anchored etc.
We tend to drive out to our chosen fishing spot and drift or anchor solely and at times like in places like lake Illawarra are not very far from the ramp at all using bugger all fuel and very little engine running time.
Our use is only fishing.
In regards to hrs if buying a used unknown boat and had to choose one with 200hrs that was maticulously serviced on time and looked after or one with 50hrs that had holes in its service record I'd pick the one with the highest hours.
Intrested to see what others comment.

Not sure exactly what your talking about but they simply bolt to the rail.If your talking about the swiveling part they normally have a shaft with a key way that you push in and turn to lock it securely in it's mount.

Yep,i think its been confirmed that it still is.😂

$5500 REMINDER THE WATERWAYS ARE THERE TO SHARE

Bet he's kicking himself for not paying the $250.
More fines should be given as people not obeying rules is increasing all the time.
